TLDR
Quantitative analysis of the published records of over 400,000 animal bones recovered from 114 archaeological sites from SW Asia and SE Europe demonstrates significant spatiotemporal variability in faunal exploitation patterns, setting the trend for sites of the 9th millennium and the appearance of Neolithic communities in SE Europe from the 8th millennium cal BP onwards.About:

TL;DR: It is argued that although recent progress has been impressive, the next decade will yield even more substantial insights not only into how domestication took place, but also when and where it did, and where and why it did not.

The Origins of Animal Domestication and Husbandry: A Major Change in the History of Humanity and the Biosphere
TL;DR: The conceptual and methodological issues are discussed, arguing in favor of an anthropozoological approach taking into account the intentions and the dynamics of human societies and critically analyzes the reductionist neo-Darwinian concepts of co-evolution and human niche construction.

TL;DR: The first genetic signatures of early domestic pigs in the Near Eastern Neolithic core zone are revealed and it is demonstrated that these early pigs differed genetically from those in western Anatolia that were introduced to Europe during the Neolithic expansion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cultivation and domestication had multiple origins: arguments against the core area hypothesis for the origins of agriculture in the Near East
TL;DR: It is argued for numerous parallel processes of domestication across the region in the Early Holocene, with the ‘non-centric’ appearance of domesticates from the Near East similar to the emerging evidence from many other regions of the world where plants were domesticated.

TL;DR: This study presents the results of a major data integration project bringing together primary archaeozoological data for over 200,000 faunal specimens excavated from seventeen sites in Turkey spanning the Epipaleolithic through Chalcolithic periods to document the initial westward spread of domestic livestock across Neolithic central and western Turkey.

Domestication and early agriculture in the Mediterranean Basin: Origins, diffusion, and impact
TL;DR: Evidence for herd management and crop cultivation appears at least 1,000 years earlier than the morphological changes traditionally used to document domestication, and the initial steps toward plant and animal domestication in the Eastern Mediterranean can be pushed back to the 12th millennium cal B.P.

TL;DR: This article examined mitochondrial DNA control-region sequence variation from 392 extant animals sampled from Europe, Africa and the Near East, and compared this with data from four extinct British wild oxen.

TL;DR: Ranking small prey in terms of work of capture (in the absence of special harvesting tools) proved far more effective in this investigation of human diet breadth than have the taxonomic-diversity analyses published previously.

TL;DR: It is shown that milk was in use by the seventh millennium; this is the earliest direct evidence to date.
